New Delhi: The fear generated by the wolf pack of Bahraich is being felt in other parts of the country. After 8 people, including 7 children and a woman, were killed by wolves over around 45 days, neighbouring Bihar is seeing a panic reaction. In Bihar's Maksudpur, a jackal was brutally killed because of the fear generated by sensational reports of the "killer wolves" of Bahraich. The jackal -- spotted in the ruins of the Maksudpur fort -- created panic. The animal was cornered and beaten to death.

Tiger Season reads like a reporter’s diary. Perhaps, it is because the bones of the novel were formed when Gargi Rawat tramped through India’s jungles covering the wildlife and conservation space for NDTV. So yes, a reporter’s diary it is, with a braid of romance and man-animal conflict running right through it. Set in Rajasthan, the storyline blends three worlds―conservation, Bollywood and journalism.

The next day Jaya and I were up at 5 am. These early morning shoots were something we were quite used to when out of Delhi, and we were both very efficient about it. We could get ready in record time. Having a hot water kettle and coffee in the tent definitely helped! Jaya would get ready first and I’d get an extra ten minutes to lie about in bed. It was still dark as we trudged to the machan.
